If the crowds and the remarks of
the fair sex that visited the millinery
opening of S. d. Hirschman & Co.,
on Friday and Saturday, is any au-
thority, then their opening must have
been an immense success. They are
showing everything desirable in
trimmed hats and bonnets for ladies
and children, the work of Miss john
son, said to be one of Baltimore's most
fashionable trimmers. The variety
of styles is so great that it would be
almost impossible to innumcrate
them. They also show varied as
sortment of feathers, flowers, gauzcs,
ornaments, ribbons in all the new
shades, and very large assortment
of untrimmcd hats. From what we
learn a great many ladies showed
their appreciation of the elegant dis
play by purchasing. The firm
showed their enterprise and liberality
by presenting n handsome memoran-
dun book to each visitor.

methods Of the "Hotpi.a1 Beat"

The sshosbita1 beat,' Is an individual we
have to be on the constant lookout for.
His business is to impose himself on the
hospitals of the, different cities, and thus
get boarded and lodged free. The regular
beat has no ailment except chronic lazi-
ness. We hadta good case the other day.
A fellow came in all dirty q mean un-
waSheiE anlsaid he wasBuffering from a
fearful pain in.the side, which prevented
him from. breathing; and, besides, he had
a headache. AS the fellows tramping
had left him. looking debilitated, and no
examination of him could be made till he
had been washed, he was sent to the City
hospital, on the supposition that he had
pneumonia. When he came to be stripped
for the inevitable bath, $187 were found
in his clothes. That ended him, and he
was fired.
Then there is class of those who get
into the hospital really suffering, but do
their utmost to stay there. Take man
who goes in because of an ulcer on his
leg. Under the tonics, good food and clean
beds he improves, the ulcer gets smaller,
and finally closes. Then, If he is worth
less, as is often the case, he attempts to
prolong his stay in his free quarters. So
he deliberately tears the ulcer open again.
] have seen such fellows get sand and rub
1t over theSwound till they had opened 1t
again. These geniuses are also promptly
bounced. But the crop is always just
about rs large. For three good meals and
nice place to. sleep, all free, some buns
will do .anything-almost MAIN them
selves, I believe. The beats are the most
common in the latter part of September,
in October, and in the fore part Of Novem
her. The approaching cold drives them
in, and they then get to seeking shelter
for the winter.-Dispensary Physician in

Several WayA or Dining.

There are several ways of dining OF
which haven't spoken. The cheap bar
rooms are served by one Of halfa dozen
firms of what arc called free lunch manu-
facturers, whose wagons so round like the
milk and ice carts, delivering monoto-
nous assortment of chopped herrings,
sliced bread, sliced tongue and smoked
beef, mustard, pickles, cheese and crack
ers In the high priced bar rooms it is
possible to make better meal. They pre-
sent sideboards with tempting arrays of
olives, sardines, ham, smoked salmon,
corned beef, small sandwiches, Edam
cheese, Boston brown bread and white
bread. A recent fancy is for the bar
tender to hand out with each drink u plate
with two or three sandwiches and nap-
kin. A great many of the faded genteel
Youths who hang about Madison square
get amply fed i'll the Hoffman house bar
room by ordering glass of Bass or beer,
and then instructing the waiter to bring
them first Il bowl of soup or hot stew and
then u sandwich or two, all of which costs
nothing.
There is s'The Beefsteak Tavern hsover
100 years old, where you order dinner ten
days ahead, so that they can hang the
steak up that length of time, and there is
Beefsteak Johnny's, where round steak is
served to poor men for five cents q plate.
Finally there are the not at all dubious
but quite too positive females who move
about the down town offices selling sand
wiches, and colored nlan who goes the
rouLds of the up town bar rooms ut night
selling soft crabs, hot corn, clam frittefs,
or whatever may he in season.-Julian

The Laundry Man Ha, His Say.

s'The tailors are our best friends now,"
said the manager Of laundry the other
day. "You see, they used to persist in
cutting coats so high that not particle
of shirt would be exposed. We went to
them and tried to get them to change the
styles, but they turned deaf ear to our
entreaties. This year, however, they
yielded, and everything is running
smoothly"
"What difference does it make to you
whether tailors cut coats high or low?"
"Why. the greatest in the world. This
present style brings us in 25 per cent.
more washing. You see, when shirt
fronts were not exposed men didn't have
to be as careful of their linen. Nobody
could tell whether shirt was fresh from
the laundry or had been worn a week.
The present style has changed all that,
and in order to look at all decent man
has to put on fresh shirt every day
or else he will be set down as
sloven. You may not believe it,
but there were lots Of young men who,
under the old style of cutting, never
wore linen shirts at all. Some of them
passed for stylish young men, too. They
used to pin their collars and cuffs on fian-
mel shirts and, by using big necktie, con-
cealed the deficiency. There was one west
side youth who sent all his laundry here,
and it was through him that got onto
this scheme. One linen shirt would last
him three weeks. don't mean that he
wore it all the time; he only put it on
when he wore dress suit, the rest Of the
time it was put away in drawer. In
this way he saved forty or fifty cents q
week. often used to wonder how some
of these clerks working for $G or 81 a
week could look as presentable. | don't
wonder any more, as they have more ex-
pedients than criminal lawyer. For in
stance, turn down collars were fashion
able last winter. These fellows, of course,
all wore them, and in small way they
were godsend to them. Why' Simply
because they could make them do
double duty. When one side became
soiled they would turn the collar wrong
side out and present the clean part to the
public gaze. When men resort to such
schemes as this is it any wonder that they
can keep up good appearance on small
salary? It's disgusting, simply disgust

TIL, ,na1,.h Government Clerk.

In the course of many visits to England
I have discussed with the chiefs OF some
of the leading bureaus, and have no
reason to believe that the average Somer-
set house young man will do any more
work than the average Washington clerk,
of either sex. 1t is q notorious fact that
the sole aim of the clerks in the employ
of the various departments of the British
government is show not to do it." What
is the testimony Of young man who
once held position in q country house,
and was subsequently appointed as
civil service writer in the British custom
house? He merely applied his country
house habits of industry to the govern
ment work.
In o few minutes an angry voice
sounded in his ear, "For Gods sake, man,
don't work like that; you'll have the
whole Office against you, and you won't
do yourself bit Of good.''
''Indeed," 1.-THE newly appointed writer
remarked
eyes, it's O fact. H has got to
give you the next book when you're done,
and he won't be ready for you before
next Saturday."
At the, rate he was working the new
hand could have finished the book that
day, which was Monday, and hence the
first complicated question which arose
under the perfect system was how to kill
the remaining five days. AS o matter OF
fact, much of the time Of q London bar
nacle, between the hours Of 10 a. m. and
a p. M, when he is supposed to be at
work, is spent reading the papers, taking
short walks, discussing the European and
Irish questions, grumbling ut the stingi-
ness Of the public and bewailing the
working Of this perfect system. AS rule
the British government clerk is a man
whose most serious question in life is how
to kill time.
On the other hand, the average Wash
idgton clerk, and by that I mean the
clerks who carry on the business of the
government in the various departments,
is an Industrious, quick and energetic per-
son, constantly on the alert for promo
tion, and to improve his or her condition.

A Hcarse as a Memorial.

The Oldest and most grotesque idea in
connection with Queen Victoria's half
century that has come under our notice
is that adopted by two villages in the west
of England, which are reported as having
"clubbed together to buy hearse as O
public memorial for the jubilee" This
seems to have been done in good faith. It
strongly suggests Mark Tapley's remark
when he was looking out for something
